:38 2d period, 2-1 Bruins: Marchand scores after Ference throws a puck on net, comes to Marchand's stick in front. Real play was made by Bergeron, who outmuscled Visnovsky to the puck in the corner and flipped it back to Ference.

End of 1st period, 1-1: Bruins seemed to carry the play early, but sloppy play and careless mistakes (Seidenberg, Bergeron on the Islanders' goal) leave us tied.

Pregame: We're minutes away from real, live ice hockey here at lovely Nassau Coliseum. Bruins trying to push their win streak to four games and finish 4-1 on this road trip. Islanders are playing their second game in what will be a season-high seven-game homestand. Playing at home hasn't meant much; the Islanders are 2-7 on Long Island this season.
